I just bought a Slingbox Solo and was trying to get it configured. I went to http://downloads.slingmedia.com and followed the directions. I setup an account and the Slingbox was detected on my network. I received a message saying "Need to update your Slingbox software, click next to continue". I clicked next and then immediately an error message popped up saying "Error while updating firmware". I get stuck at this point and can't go further. I have attempted this multiple times and even reset the Slingbox a couple times as well. Each time I get to the same point and get the same error message. What can I do to fix this?

I had the same issue, What I did was install the sling player software on another computer in my home (where the sling box resides) & updated thru that computer, It will say "not recomended" as it thinks i'm at a remote location in case anything goes wrong, But proceeded as I was in the same location........ and all went ok

Hi Everyone...I'm coming across this problem and I tried updating on the desktop connected to the router and still the same issue. It freezes right when they download the new firmware. Any suggestions!
